You know what sounds good? Homemade chicken pot pie for dinner! An entire meal in one dish. Washed down with that last bottle of Bell's Christmas Ale I discovered in the back of the fridge last night. Mmmm mmm!

Homemade chicken pot pie does sound good.

Must be the season. I was just talking to the Mrs. ofos about chicken pot pie. Unfortunately she's not a fan. Of the purchased variety, there used to be one that I liked the most because it was in a pie shell with crust top, not just a top covering. Anybody know who might make one like that?

You're probably referring to Marie Callender's pot pies. I'll take homemade any day, but if I'm going to buy one at the store it'd be one of those (and not Swanson or Banquet)

People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

My wife makes a really good meat pie with a pot roast. That sounds good for tonight. Maybe I'll make that. I think she's going out with her sisters. I could eat a lot of meat pie if she's not around to tell me I've had enough.

Went out at Eurkea Burger for dinner, which was lovely. And, uh, I happen to look over at a certain point during the meal and see a waitress taking an order, and I found myself wondering what color her underpants might be. Her panties. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I sort of think, well, maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about. You know, and uh, and I started feeling...

Honey, you think KFC is still open??

I just stumbled across a post-menopausal flash mob. Seriously; a crowd of 55+ women, all raising their fingers to the sky, dancing for one empowering song of some kind, wooing, and then leaving.

I think that was a hot flash mob.

Recently I've gotten back into Words With Friends a little and have played a couple games with an old Marine buddy. He's won the past couple games, which in and of itself is no big deal but I find it a trifle annoying because to be honest Iknowmy vocabulary is more extensive than his. But he has managed to win I'm sure by (maybe there's a name for this practice) plugging in random sequences of letters until he finds a match the game will accept. If we were playing scrabble that would never fly, but WWF has this delightful feature that serves as the great equalizer, effectively diminishing my advantage in word knowlege and rewarding either his luck at drawing tiles or his persistence at crunching out random letter combos.

Hard to relate to? Imagine how you'd feel if you lost playing WWF with, say, Mskis, and you'll know how I feel.

I feel the same way, and I often lose to people that have much smaller vocabularies than I do.

"I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany"

I think that is definitely part of it. Just because you have an extensive vocab doesn't mean you have the best strategy or know how to turn an X & a Q into a TW, DL, TL jackpot.

Some of the words that are used in WWF are just ridiculous though. I've tried to look up words that people have used and I couldn't find a definition anywhere. Some people that I play will literally take an entire day to play a word. I know for a fact that they are just trying any and all combinations of words and letters until they find one that WWF let's them play. This wouldn't happen in a real game of Scrabble.

What btrage said. I gots me some L33T skillz where vocabulary, strategy and pattern recognition are concerned. And I have no qualms whatsoever about losing to someone who can block me by playing "quixotic" on triple word tiles, but it bugs me to lose when someone's "strategy" evidently consists of taking a lot of time to plug unlikely combos of letters in until one registers with the game. (e.g. cramming adjacent tiles to form the words "Qis""sym" and "uhs"....wow, that's 88 points!....)

Yall should play a "man's game" online. Who is up for some cyburbia Call of Duty? that why were can talk smack and "virtually" affirm our 2nd amendment rights!
